A fifth Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker has transited the Strait of Hormuz with a cargo, ship-tracking data shows, bringing the total number of loaded LNG vessels to have exited the waterway since the war started to nine, reports Reuters.
Controlled by QatarEnergy, the Al Daayen tanker was seen on ship-tracking data off the coast of Qatar around June 4-5, according to analytics firms Kper and LSEG. It reappeared on ship-tracking data on Monday that showed it east of the strait with the vessel indicating that it was heading for China.
According to Kper data, the tanker loaded a cargo at Qatar’s Ras Laffan terminal on June 1.
Separately, a ballast LNG tanker has managed to enter the waterway again after delivering a shipment to India, according to analytics firm Vortexa.
